52: Big wall climbing, real-life survival and accidental comedy with Andy Kirkpatrick Modern Outdoor Survival
-
- Wilderness
Richard Prideaux talks with Andy Kirkpatrick about all things big wall, winter expeditions and doing things the hard way.
It's safe to say that Andy has made his way through life so far by pushing himself and deliberately pitting himself against his own barriers. From a young age he learned to climb and handle himself in the outdoors and progressed from there, teaching himself the ropework skills he would need to climb big walls like El Capitan. Since then Andy has become a well-known and award winning British climber, writer and speaker.
This episode is a little bit different to usual but we really hope that you enjoy it, Andy has done a lot to talk about in his life and this only really covers the tip of the iceberg.
Useful info: Chossy means loose, unstable, soft or very overgrown rock which can't really be trusted.
